Yes, but wipe them with vinegar first. The glue cuts off oxygen and causes them to die.

..Er..That's not a very good idea. As far as treatment goes, over-the-counter medications contain chemicals that destroy skin cells (e.g., acid) and may damage healthy tissue surrounding the wart. Self-treatment for plantar warts using an over-the-counter preparation is not recommended.
In some cases, podiatrists apply mild acid (e.g., salicylic acid, cantharidin, dichloroacetic acid) topically to treat plantar warts. This treatment, which often requires multiple applications over the course of several weeks, disintegrates viral cells and allows healthy skin cells to replace them.
Laser treatments (e.g., CO2 laser cautery) can be used to treat plantar warts. Laser treatment is performed in a podiatrist's office or an outpatient surgery facility using local anesthesia. Lasers produce little scarring and are effective in most cases.
Cryotherapy involves freezing warts with a very cold solution (e.g., sodium nitride) that destroys the virus and causes the wart to turn black and fall off within a few days. This treatment is ineffective in some cases when the solution does not penetrate far enough to completely destroy the virus.
Surgical removal (called debridement) usually is not recommended to treat plantar warts because it can cause painful scarring. Generally, this procedure is used to remove several small warts in a limited area. Debridement is performed using anesthesia and can be used with acid to destroy the virus and prevent the warts from regrowing.
I hope I was able to help. Best of Luck.

I don't think there is any way that krazy glue could help with plantar warts and maybe your friend is having a laugh at your expense

Put a good duct tape on it. The wart can't get any air and it will die. It will smell, but after the duct tape is on there a while, hen you pull it off, it will pull the seeds out. If it is really bad, see a doctor. I'd try the duct tape first. My son had a very large one, and when he went to the doctor, it was really painful. I don't want to scare you, but it hurt him.

Maybe it would be better if you get it frozen off by a dermetologist.
